"The really good bits - the staff are second to none. They are committed to doing the best job possible for their guests, they work extremely hard and go the extra mile to see that everything is to your liking. As a solo female traveller i felt safe, they checked in on me and gave me advice on all things Maafushi.
Food.... chef made every effort to present the food well and the menu was standard with a buffet breakfast and hot evening meal of choice.
Front of house welcome was lovely.
The building needs a refurb. My room was adequate but really does need an uplift from the style perspective as its dated and shabby.
There is barely any internet at this hotel! Signal constantly dropping out with no hope of working from this location.
The hotel and pool is much smaller than it looks on the photos. There is building work right next door.....people should be made aware before they book.
The beach is literally 2 minutes away - sunbeds are available but they have to be requested on an individual basis, there are no parasols available and one of the porters has to run down the road carrying the sunbed. There is no beach presence from the hotel perspective, though you can get a free sunbed and parasol which are already set up on the beach by the other hotels if you buy a drink / food. This works - triton are missing a trick here.
One final point of feedback: the staff are what keep this hotel afloat and primarily the reason for the good rating. It would be nice to see them appreciated"

Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa Maldives - Adults Only
10/10 Excellent
"Clean room, friendliest staff, and 1000/10 spa experience (we went back and got a second massage. Tried the Thai massage.. omg AMAZING), beautiful hut, amazing excursions with lovely guides. Food was great. Went here for our honeymoon. Best experience ever!!"
"I stayed at icom blue sea view for 3 nights in the honeymoon room with jacuzzi on level 11. It was spacious and central to everything. The pool on the top level was awesome with the best views of Maafushi. The hard boiled eggs at breakfast were delicious. The shisha was great too."
"We were very impressed with our stay. Our shuttle driver was incredibly apologetic about being late to get us at the airport despite it being beyond his control (traffic accident). For there, we were greeted by a very pleasant and helpful young woman who explained everything we needed to know for our stay over a welcome "cold lemon tea" that was absolutely delicious. Despite arriving very early for our check-in time, they were able to get us into our room early.
Our room was an ocean view and we were thrilled. It was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. Some may have concerns about the flooring (the seams were separating in some places) but it didn't bother us.
We walked the area and always felt very safe, explored stores and restaurants but still returned to the hotel to eat 4 meals (breakfast, lunch and dinners). We cannot say enough about the food - we were very impressed (selection, cost, quality, and quantity). Overall, we'd definitely stay again."
